The Ministry of Health is eager to develop its technical system and the national strategy for promoting health services offered by the government sector, Minister Dr. Jamal Al-Harbi said on Wednesday. The executive plans of the five-year national strategy come in cooperation with the UN World Health Organization (WHO), the minister told a press conference.

A major phase of the strategy is building the technical and administrative cadres at the supervisory posts through adopting the relevant scientific bases. Al-Harbi noted that they agreed with a host of international specialized institutions to organize courses for qualifying those who will hold these posts, including the UK's London School of Economics (LSE).

Meanwhile, the minister said that they had re-organized work at the department of treatment abroad, as well as in the health offices overseas. He noted that some of the officials in the overseas offices were referred to the prosecution after irregularities were spotted.
